How to debug - I lost disappeared pingback

[LazyBadger]

Pingback from Serendipity to Serendipity was successfully sent by originator (I saw info-message), but not appeared on recipient's side at all
I have rather soft antispam rules (most actions - "moderate"), these rules was untouched long time and I received pingbacks in this direction before
I can complain hoster's TS, but I want to explore problem before it, with my own hands

Hi!

Did you check the serendipity_comments table for the pingback comment, if any entry is there? Also you might want to enable logging of the spamblock plugin and see if the pingback maybe got rejected due to some option.

Also check if you maybe use other antgispam plugins like bayes, and temporarily disable them to see if then pingbacks get through.

Done now. No, I have not these entries in table

Thanks, forgot about logging

Well, I know configuration of my blogs - I used and use just one antispam-plugin: serendipity_event_spamblock, and single significant change, which I can recall was blind transferring sites on new physical server (without any of my intervention and participation)

Merde!
It was Akismet, for which I had "Reject"
Garvin, can you drop into log slightly more details? F.e in e-mail notify I can read "Spam Prevention: Invalid message. (Akismet)", but in log recorded only

Code: Select all

[2011-06-01 18:00:04] - [MODERATE: Filtered by Akismet.com Blacklist: true]

and nobody will be able to detect real Akismet's reason

Hi!

Akismet AFAIK does not transfer anything else then "Spam: true" or "Spam: false". There's no more additional information about WHY Akismet thinks its spam.

Well, I catched it. My probem had nothing common with Serendipity or Akismet (per se). Some way (I suppose - on site transfer) akismet's type was changed in plugin config - instead of "Akismet (original)" I saw "Typepad (original)", with key from wordpress.org it produced 100% blacklist hits
